Instead of calling Gold analysis, I would use the term of trading plan or trading journal to record my trades.
So please note: This is a personal journal only, but NOT a trading suggestion. If you want to follow it please control by your own risk. I can't give you advice on risk management and money slot because we have different risk preference and strategy.

Entry reason:
Gold broke the previous downtrend channel but formed a flat top-bottom consolidating area. Gold jumped from 1697 to 1714 last night due to the FMOC news, but then drop into the ranging area again.
In my chart since yesterday (you can find the related ideas below), Gold seems completed the wave (d) & wave (e) now. Even with the news, Gold doesn't show a strong bull momentum that needs to go higher than 1718 to confirm a valid break, thus I still think it's still in the ranging area, which belong to the wave (4) of the bigger cycle of (C).
I would still go short today and looking for break down in next few days. And not buy anymore since the support won't be valid for four times.
Pattern will be invalid when price breaks up to 1718
